Recall 26V481000310,667 vehicles

Problem
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2020-2021 CLA, 2019-2022 A-Class, 2022-2023 C-Class, 2024 CLE, 2020-2026 GLA/GLB, and 2023-2024 GLC vehicles. Please refer to MBUSA's recall report for specific model information.

This may result in a vehicle rollaway.
Risk
A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash or injury.
Fix
